Policy & Regulatory Committee

May 8, 2020 by mbcchamber

New Mask Ordinances from the City and County: 8/25/2020

City of Milledgeville

Baldwin County

Important Distinctions: The primary difference between the ordinances is that for the City, one must display a sign in one-inch Ariel print that states, “This location does not consent to the enforcement of any local face-covering requirement upon this property.” For the county, Businesses will have to put up signs saying they DO require face masks/coverings and to allow enforcement in their establishment.

Sidewalk dining in the City has been extended until December 30th
